Dennis was modest after the game when asked about his performance against the Spurs.

“We’ve got to get something that translates to wins. Whether it’s 27 or seven (points), we’ve got to get some wins. … I’m just trying to make plays to get wins, man. That’s it,” Smith modestly said of his career night.(Mavs)

Here are DSJ’s highlights from last night, which are kicked off by a murderous dunk breezing by Pau Gasol.
